An SUV struck a skateboarder in Anaheim on Monday evening. The skateboard accident in Anaheim occurred at East Katella Avenue and South State College Boulevard. The details of the collision are still being investigated. Unfortunately, the skateboarder sustained very serious injuries and has been taken to UCI Medical Center for treatment. Our thoughts go out to the injured party and we would like to wish him a healthy and speedy recovery from his injuries.
Automobile drivers need to learn to safely share the roads with skateboarders and bicyclists. Skateboarders and bicyclists must obey all traffic and safety signals just as an automobile must. However, automobiles and skateboarders/bicyclists are not made equal. In the event of a collision, obviously the skateboarder/bicyclist will be more severely injured. For this reason, if you are driving a car you must show extreme caution when in the presence of riders to avoid these types of collisions. Even if they are wearing safety equipment, bicyclist and skateboarders can be severely injured.
